Public Reading of Scripture

Reading the Bible aloud with a group of people is an ancient practice. In fact, the origins of the Bible are deeply rooted in the public reading of Scripture. Explore with us the origins and development of this fascinating biblical topic, and how it offers us a model for engaging the Scriptures in our own day.

I struggle to understand the Bible, I wish I could find a small group to study and read it together. I gave up on false churches who don't focus on the word and teach it properly. It would be nice to find a group of people who take God serious to help me understand and guide me through the Bible. But I noticed since I began to start to get close to God, people around me disappeared. Im pretty much alone in this walk for now. But thanks to video's like yours and your cool animation which I love, it helps a lot. I also recommend Micheal Chriswell YouTube channel, both of you guys help me daily with my walk with the Lord.

This is wonderful to know. My hubby has ADHD and really hates reading, so much so that he hasn’t been reading his bible at all so I told him I’ll read the Bible out loud for him and he just needs to listen. Then we can discuss afterwards.

Hey guys, could you please pray for us here in South Africa? There's been several huge wild fires over the last couple of days, destroying everything in their paths. There's been over 20 different fires around my hometown alone!
It's day 2 and several people have died, and more than 10 000+ people have been forced to evacuate their homes and entered the unknown.
We are in a time of need, thanks.

At our mission church in Davao City, Philippines, we actually do this before our services every Sunday. We read two or three chapters out loud together. I'm blessed by how everyone participates.

To be honest, I didn't know that verse existed. Thanks for sharing, guys~

I am going to start a Bible study on my front lawn next to the sidewalk for a hour a day I will start with 2 chairs and as people and cars drive by if they want to participate it will be available for them. Of course I will be introducing anyone and everyone to this incredible project of yours, from which I have been delivered from my wilderness. Dr Mackie and Mr Collins and Crew are a blessing I crave everyday to deliver the Gospel. Aloha peeps all over the world have a great day today.

Now I really want to get a bunch of friends together and sit down and listen to the Bible.

Bless you In Jesus's name!
I've been leading a prayer group at my job and told them about these scriptures, the importance of reading God's word together. I'm going to share this video to help them understand. Thank you!

I've been thinking of maybe becoming an animator, a writer, and a director. So you guys really inspire me. And you guys are also helping me apply my Christian worldview into my ideas and stories. Thanks guys! God bless you!

We've started implementing this at our church. This coming Sunday, before service, we will read through half of Acts together. Thanks for this video!

This has to be by far my favorite video from The Bible Project because of the content of the message it carries. It is so so IMPORTANT yet I've never thought of it before. Just thinking about how we would be strengthened as a church and as a sport of the body of Christ if we made this a common practice! Thank you for putting out ideas such as these! God bless. 😊

This is one of the reason I joined my church because of this practice. Something about hearing the scriptures read a loud.

[ronaldabelilla]

Thank you men and women of the Bible Project, you have reminded me to continue the daily scripture reading with my family. May the LORD continue to bless your ministry.

This made me cry. I love Bible stories and feel so connected with God's word and His promises
